Verdict

MOHAWK CHIEF is the form choice, although dual bumper scorer Jentobello has the potential to leave his hurdle debut effort behind and provide a big threat.

1	Fair Flat winner who made it eighth time lucky over hurdles in 20.5f Market Rasen maiden in July. Not in the same form when a well-held third there a fortnight later but this looks a good opportunity for him to bounce back in new headgear (visor replaces blinkers). 1st Pick 1 Mohawk Chief (Usa) Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Mickey Bowen J: James Bowen T: Mickey Bowen	100	-	-	-	63%

3	Refused at the first in a point but showed plenty to win both his starts in bumpers this summer. Bit disappointing he could only manage third sent off at 4/5 for his Uttoxeter hurdle debut (2m, good) last month but no surprise were he to leave that well behind now. Up in trip. 2nd Pick 3 Jentobello Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Iain Jardine J: Brian Hughes T: Iain Jardine	96	-	-	-	46%

4	Maiden Irish pointer but struck at the second time of asking under Rules when springing a 50/1 surprise in a C&D novice in May. Tame effort at Perth 19 days later and freshened up since. 3rd Pick 4 Late Night Drama Jockey: Nathan Moscrop Trainer: Susan Corbett J: Nathan Moscrop T: Susan Corbett	95	-	-	-	19%
